The fifty pence evolved from the half sovereign, which was first issued in 1544 in the reign of Henry VIII.
The original value of the half sovereign was ten shillings. We recount the story of the sovereign on our sovereign story page, and of the half sovereign on our half sovereign story page.
Silver half pound coins had also been issued between 1559 and 1646.
The last coins of the old £sd system to be issued for circulation were dated 1967, and the first decimal coins were 10 and 5 pence coins dated 1968, which were the direct equivalent of the florin and shilling.
